IceCube_microCT_Snow_grainsize

The specific surface area (SSA) of different snow types were measured with the IceCube instrument and the Scanco Medical microCT 40. In addition, the snow particles created during the preparation of IceCube samples were counted. The difference in SSA between these instruments is explained by the formation of the surface particles. A numerical simulation using TARTES simulation support the observations.

不同雪型的比表面积（Specific Surface Area，SSA）通过IceCube仪器与Scanco Medical microCT 40完成了测量。此外，研究人员对制备IceCube样品过程中产生的雪粒进行了计数。两款仪器测得的SSA差异可通过表面颗粒的形成机制得到解释。采用TARTES模拟工具开展的数值仿真为上述观测结果提供了支撑。
